$2.8 million is nowhere near enough. Must have had a crummy lawyer.
It’s actually $5.8 million according to other articles — the $2.8 million is the up-front payment and then the govt. buys Hatfield an annuity that will pay him $150K per year for the next 20 years. Of course that’s before his lawyer’s cut. Still, I don’t begrudge him the money — those bozos ruined his life. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg is the one who ought to be paying the settlement (not that she could afford it).
